Si sono svolti ieri sera, al Microsoft Theater di Los Angeles, gli American Music Awards 2020, ovvero l’annuale premio che certifica gli artisti e gli album più popolari negli Stati Uniti. Quest’anno si è svolta una edizione speciale dell’evento, ripensata nel rispetto del distanziamento sociale.
A fronte delle numerose nomination ricevute sia da The Weeknd che da Rodd Ricch – ben otto a capoccia, con il primo a tornare a casa con tre e il secondo a ritirare soltanto un premio – su tutti e tutte trionfa Taylor Swift che si aggiudica non solo l’award come artista dell’anno, ma anche quelli per il miglior video musicale (Cardigan) e come miglior artista femminile (sezione pop rock).
Di seguito la lista completa dei vincitori e una manciata di performance, tra le quali spiccano quelle di Billie Eilish, che ha presentato per la prima volta dal vivo l’ultimo singolo Therefore I Am, Megan Thee Stallion con Body estratto dal valido album di debutto, Dua Lipa che si è esibita dalla Royal Albert Hall di Londra con Levitating, il duo formato da Justin Bieber e Shawn Mendes che ha inaugurato la kermesse con Monster e The Weeknd, che ha proposto In Your Eyes con Kenny G.
